Depression affects more than just your mood—it can impact your energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, concentration, and relationships. Whether you’re experiencing persistent low mood, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, or feelings of hopelessness, you don’t have to face these difficulties alone.
Our Approach
We use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Behavioural Activation, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Our approach focuses on:
- Understanding the factors contributing to your depression
- Developing practical strategies for managing difficult thoughts and feelings
- Gradually rebuilding activities and connections that bring meaning and pleasure
- Building resilience and preventing future episodes
What Treatment Involves
Depression therapy often includes exploring thinking patterns that maintain low mood, gradually increasing meaningful activities, and addressing any underlying issues that may be contributing to your difficulties. We work at your pace, recognising that recovery from depression takes time and patience.

- Persistent low mood lasting more than two weeks
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
